I think I'll respond properly once I see this post gets more than 16 but less than 18 updoots.
I'm supposed to be working so I didn't spend a lot of time on this but the only thing I see is the date of the drop 03/02/2019 adds up to 17. And I guess there are 17 letters in "FAKE NEWS NARRATIVE." What am I missing?
I consider the first one legit. Nice job.
03/02/2019 --> 3+2+2+1+9=17
Hmmmm, 17 letters in first sentence, 17 letters in all caps phrase...hmmm
Didnโt catch that one. Interesting.
Donโt know, but want the watch.
It is a nice watch. ๐
Do you know what brand it is? ;)
IWC (International Watch Company)
๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐
Keep going. ๐

IWC

Kash tends to wear the same Breitling, itโs nice, but Iโd take that IWC any day over that Breitling.

I think this it.
Donald Jr. is known to wear IWC, but from what Iโve seen this isnโt his style and Big Daddy wears mainly gold watches. Whoever the owner is they are more than likely wealthy by most standards, refined and not into bling watches. This watch is badass but itโs also conservative.
I tried to match this watch to some key players, but wasnโt able to come up with anything. I thought maybe Kash but I donโt see him having accumulated the wealth that in most circumstances would justify its purchase.
You are dancing around 2 more 17 references. ๐
Edit: I also tried to find who was wearing that watch and also could not find anyone. Iโm sure Q was way more careful than that.
(1880)๐๐ฌ Originally founded in Switzerland by American watchmaker Florentine Ariosto Jones in 1868, the company was transferred to the Rauschenbach family in 1880 after bankruptcy and has been a subsidiary of the Swiss Richemont Group since 2000.
Might not be a case of trying to be careful with this. I wouldnโt be surprised if one day I run a search again and find that new pics have been uploaded so that we can identify the owner.
Thatโs a very nice time piece and whoever owns it probably enjoys wearing it. Also, that pen is likely to be a 1k + Mount Blanc and its owner is going to be someone important that uses it for special occasions.
Perhaps. I could also see it being acquired solely for this purpose. You sound like a watch enthusiast like me, so I think we feel differently about it. lol
Edit: When we are done with this exercise, you'll see more of why I believe this watch was purchased not to wear, but for the express purposes of Q comms.
The pen is indeed a Mont Blanc. Starwalker Extreme.
I have few watches, but definitely not on this level.
Thatโs funny,, I was just looking at a Starwalker trying to identify it. Although, I didnโt notice the groves in the one I was viewing.
Q posted better pics of the pen that help.
Perhaps Dan Scanvino...
Possibly..
I think Steve Mnuchin would wear this watch and heโs someone I havenโt checked๐ค
Yes...i believe he's the director of this movie.

Not just ANY Portugieser.
The IWC Portugieser 42mm Mens Watch is $12,500. 12+5=17
Edit: https://www.watchesofswitzerland.com/IWC-Portugieser-42mm-Mens-Watch-IW390302/p/17810569
My research shows this particular watch had an MSRP of $12,100. So not that.
But like u/ModernMan1, you are really close to finding another, if not 2 more.
The image name is TT.png. My first thought in seeing this is that TT is short for "Trump Time."
I remember several of Trump's staff referring to Trump's speed in execution of plans as being referred to as Trump Time.
For example, Trump's first Secretary of State, Rex Tillerson, was a sandbagger and bogged everything down. Definitely deep state in my opinion. When he was fired and Mike Pompeo was brought in, it became fairly well known that he was a fast mover and worked on Trump Time.
Example..
Trump: "Tillerson, get to North Korea and diffuse rocketman."
Tillerson: "Why do I have to do that? My schedule is really full."
Trump: "Pompeo, get to North Korea and diffuse rocketman."
Pompeo: "I am already over the Pacific. Heading there now."
If Trump is Q (17), then TT is 17.
Thinking about it too hard now. See my next hint. Practically gives it away. :)
I like your TT theory though. ๐ค
Not trying to find another 17, just discussing possible owner of that watch.
The watch is tilted to the 17th minute of the Q clock. (The pen appears to be at :27 if that's helpful to anyone.)

Fun game!
Edit: lol actually that might be :18...these old eyes. ๐คฃ
lol, still interesting.
2 "Q"s Total # of words : 17ร2
17 minutes to 4 on the watch.
No...3:42 or 18 minutes before 4
So it is...oops! :)

Check page 17.
Voldemort is first met in chapter 17 of the first Harry Potter book. Over the next 7 years, Harry is saved by Hermione 17 times. 17 years pass between Voldemort's first attempt on Harry's life and the one that was (temporarily) successful. There are 12 uses for dragon's blood (as discovered by Dumbledore), and 5 adult dragons that factor into the plot.
